The Story of Musicals - BBC

To contact us Click HERE
Three-part BBC documentary of the British musical theatre.
(My favorite part is the discussion of Phantom of the Opera. Andrew Lloyd Webber was talking to Tim Rice about joining him to work on Phantom. Andrew played some of the music for Tim, and Tim's response (after Andrew stopped playing) was something like "That is the most boring thing you have ever written.")
